Oh, good gods.

That's horrifying.

*shocked*

I thought this place (http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0641,murphy,74685,6.html) was as bad as it got, but at least they're dealing with very mentally ill children.

I wonder what the suicide rate is there; I know it's what I'd be thinking about if I were trapped in that kind of place...

I honestly feel like crying after reading that. It's appalling.

Words cannot describe the wrongness.

Definite shades of "But I'm A Cheerleader (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179116/)" there.

(I have the DVD. Bring plonk.)

After US military schools, frankly I'm not surprised, although I am horrified. They're using classic techniques of brainwashing, that this isn't illegal is appalling. Shame the US don't have something like the EU court of human rights, but that's America for you.

I just can't think of any appropriate words.
